For those that have been infamous for suicide? Yes, they were basically all indiagnosed and simply trying to manage their symptoms by self medicating with things like alcohol abuse. They were diagnosed posthumously. And there are still a large number who have not been officially diagnosed.

I have no problem with an influential person being diagnosed with bipolar as long as they are doing what they need to so the disorder is properly managed.

Just look at John McCain, I'm pretty sure there's a short fuse somewhere in his head.

He was a POW for over 5 years in North Vietnam, he had a lot bones broken, which is why he looks so stiff. I think anyone would have mental health issues
being a POW that long...

He has quite a temper, which is something to be concerned with when it comes to being the President.

Exactly. I don't want a President with untreated or uncontrolled PTSD. Or with uncontrollable anger as the result.
 
next, we'd have Willie Nelson the famous stoner running for the presidency:giggle:

I am not saying he would be a good candidate for president , I agree he can be a hot head! I think he is too old to be president , he looked horrible at the end of his last run for president. He was having trouble remembering the questions during a debate and had to write them down .
